Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix ground pork, onion, garlic, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour and cold butter, cutting in until crumbly. Add ice water to form a dough.
  4. Roll out half the dough and place in a pie dish. Fill with the meat mixture.
  5. Cover with the remaining dough, crimp the edges, and cut a few slits in the top.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
